Well this could be the last roll of the Pumpkin Dice for this season so thought I best bring a new recipe to the pass before October is out !!!
One reason is a beautiful new Bundt Pan Gifted by my fellow baker in the States … Shari thank you so much its a Nordic Ware Pan !!! The ultimate in Bundt Pans
And as you will see from the post it worked a like a dream
So today I present to you a delicious Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bundt, filled with the taste of the season and topped with a dreamy silky chocolate ganache
I have included in this recipe my Bakers Pan Gloop ( Gluten Free and Vegan ) to aid getting your pan greased well, we don’t need any sticking in this bake !!
Unlike many recipes I advise you leave the cake to cool in the pan for an hour, Gluten Free and Vegan bakes can be fragile when warm and this combats any unstable warm bake
So lets get on with this bake before the clock strikes midnight in the 31st and all the pumpkins disappear in a whoosh of pumpkin smoke ( Mind I can see this cake being made out of season because well its to good to miss out on just for dates ππ

9. add the chocolate chips and stir in until combined
8. Transfer the batter to the prepared tin and spread it level.
8, Bake in centre on oven for 50 minutes, test with a cocktail stick of cake tester in the centre so it comes out clean
9. Leave the cake to cool in the tin on a wire rack for one hour before carefully flipping it out onto a wire rack and leaving it to cool completely.
10. Make the ganache
11. Warm the milk in a sauce pan or microwave until just before the boil
12. Add the remaining chocolate chips and to a medium bowl
13. Add the warmed milk to the chocolate and level it to stand for a minute and then whisk
14, It may look split keep whisking and it will go glossy and thick, add the vegan butter and stir in
15. Leave to cool until a drip consistency , try a drip down the side of your sink bowl ( Thanks Shari for that tip ) and then decoratively cover best you can
So there you go…. one delicious bake .
I sent this bake out for trail to The Wellbeing Lounge before I decided to publish it to make sure it fitted the bill
Its overly sweet and that was the idea, the chocolate in and on it compliments it enough to balance it perfectly
It got rave reviews and sold out quickly ….always a good sign so it was a winner and one to share for everyone to enjoy
If you cant find canned pumpkin you can always roast your own, you will find the directions for that on this post here
So without any more fuss lets get you some more pics to make you want this even more !!!!
